1
00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:05,400
Speaker 1: And now move the sticks. Ten takeaways from Week twelve

2
00:00:05,880 --> 00:00:12,280
Speaker 1: with Daniel Jeremiah, Bucky Brooks, and Red Lewis. Hey, everybody,

3
00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:14,760
Speaker 1: welcome back, moved the sticks, will take away pod here.

4
00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:17,600
Speaker 1: Got the gang all back together, all in the same country,

5
00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:22,479
Speaker 1: which is nice. You guys look fantastic. Man. We got

6
00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:23,840
Speaker 1: a lot of get to. Normally we can kind of

7
00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:26,160
Speaker 1: do a little happy, little happy chat off the top,

8
00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:28,000
Speaker 1: but I said, we just jump right in. You guys

9
00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:32,040
Speaker 1: do it. I'll start us off takeaway number one. It's

10
00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:36,800
Speaker 1: amazing when protected Sam Donald, pretty darn good. Donald stack

11
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:38,839
Speaker 1: to throw off play action looks right, throws up the

12
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:41,680
Speaker 1: bike scene hinstride at the forty yard line. He's got barrios.

13
00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:45,240
Speaker 1: He gets loose sideline coding not the thirty, not the twenty,

14
00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:49,720
Speaker 1: looking for the pylon, pushed out Braxton burials all the

15
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:52,599
Speaker 1: way down to the one yard line like a lightning.

16
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:56,120
Speaker 1: He shot up the right scene and Sam Donald found

17
00:00:56,200 --> 00:01:00,640
Speaker 1: him with a side on throw sixty nine yards. Yeah,

18
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:03,200
Speaker 1: Sam Donald was protected in this game, and and really

19
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:05,680
Speaker 1: was a makeshift line too, because yet Chimadoga go down

20
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:08,200
Speaker 1: the rookie. Uh so, kind of a patchwork group, but

21
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:10,880
Speaker 1: that Raider's pass rush that didn't exist early in the

22
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:13,959
Speaker 1: season then kind of exploded for a couple of games. Uh,

23
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:16,280
Speaker 1: they were slowed down in this one, and with time

24
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 1: to throw, Sam Donald showed buck he can make every throw.

25
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 1: I mean, drive the ball, layer the ball, float the ball,

26
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:24,760
Speaker 1: you name it. He can do it. And um, it

27
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 1: was fun to watch him. And really, you take out

28
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:29,800
Speaker 1: the two bad games. Sam Donald is a better player

29
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 1: this year than he was last year. Yeah, he absolutely

30
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:35,039
Speaker 1: has has improved. I think the big thing for the

31
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:38,039
Speaker 1: Jets in general, I think we've seen them kind of

32
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 1: settle into who they are and what their identity is

33
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 1: on both sides of the ball. We can talk about

34
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:45,200
Speaker 1: Sam Donald and at offense looking good, but I think

35
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 1: the biggest improvement has come from their defense. Uh. Last

36
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 1: week I wrote about Jamal Adams having a legitimate shot

37
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:52,560
Speaker 1: to be the defensive Player of the Year due to

38
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 1: the way that Greg Williams is using him, using him

39
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 1: as a blitzer, allowing him to be a factor not

40
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 1: only as a pass rusher, but also of being closer

41
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 1: to the box we can make plays against the run.

42
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 1: He is doing it. This defense is kind of coming

43
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 1: on and we're seeing them began to create turnovers. That

44
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 1: has given Sam Donald more opportunities within range where they

45
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 1: can score. And I think right now that things are

46
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 1: working together for the Jets. I think this is the

47
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 1: version of the Jets that we expected to see at

48
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 1: the beginning of the year. Yeah, quick word on on

49
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:21,960
Speaker 1: Adam Gaze, because I feel like a lot has been

50
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:25,840
Speaker 1: said about the leadership of this team. Uh really from

51
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 1: the jump right not here to argue all that's been said.

52
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:32,919
Speaker 1: You could you could clearly make an argument positively or negatively,

53
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:34,520
Speaker 1: depending on how you feel about it. But there's been

54
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:37,400
Speaker 1: drama from day one. That's just kind of been the case.

55
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 1: And when the Sharks were circling after the one and

56
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:41,960
Speaker 1: seven start, including a couple of the bad losses that

57
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 1: you mentioned and the most notably the Patriots, when Donald

58
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 1: comes back from the motto um and then you have

59
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 1: the trade deadline drama, and just when you feel like

60
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:52,800
Speaker 1: things are starting to go off the rails, they rattle

61
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:54,799
Speaker 1: off three in a row. I think that's a sign

62
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 1: of of a coach that can rally the troops, that

63
00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 1: can bring guys together when every everyone else wants to

64
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:02,239
Speaker 1: pull them apart. Um Donald showing you why he was

65
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:04,399
Speaker 1: arguably the top quarterback in the class two years ago,

66
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:07,680
Speaker 1: and it feels like they together are hitting their stride

67
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 1: here with Donald figuring out what what he wants to

68
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:13,480
Speaker 1: do and how that fits into the whole philosophy of

69
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:16,359
Speaker 1: what gay springs. And look all that doesn't happen by accident.

70
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 1: You know. It's it's a good job leading a team,

71
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:20,640
Speaker 1: and there's a momentum now heading into the final stretch.

72
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 1: It's it's fascinating. Just real quick, I'll put a bow

73
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:25,359
Speaker 1: on Donald. I want to get the Raiders real quick

74
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 1: on the other side of it. But, um, you look

75
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 1: at Baker Mayfield right with the Browns this year, Uh,

76
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 1: they've had a runner go over seventy yards nine times

77
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 1: this year. The Jets still still didn't happened. Even in

78
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 1: this game where they won big, they did not have

79
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 1: anybody rushed for over seventy yards. Um. So this is

80
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 1: a team that's this is if you're a Jets fan,

81
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 1: get excited because this is the basement right now, Like

82
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 1: there's going They're going to get better around him, and

83
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 1: you're gonna start seeing a run game, You're gonna start

84
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 1: seeing consistent pass protection. They're gonna find weapons, They're gonna

85
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 1: find corners. They still have a lot to go out

86
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 1: there and get and now we're seeing they can they

87
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 1: can win football games as is, So that would be

88
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 1: encourage to me if you're a Jets fan. And then

89
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 1: when you flip forward to the Oakland Raiders, Buck, I

90
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 1: want to get your thoughts on this and then we

91
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 1: can get scooting here. But this was a game. I know.

92
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 1: I know the history of West Coast teams going east

93
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 1: and playing in that early time slots at ten am

94
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:16,480
Speaker 1: game at the weather is not great. I get all

95
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:19,479
Speaker 1: those things. But to me, it felt like knowing the

96
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 1: Jets run defense was, you know, one of the best

97
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 1: in football. Knowing the Raiders wanted to run the football,

98
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:26,479
Speaker 1: I got the sense this was gonna be a Derek

99
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:29,039
Speaker 1: Carr game. Um, and I thought the ball was put

100
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 1: in Derek Carr's hands and I thought he was. He

101
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:32,800
Speaker 1: got screwed a little bit by some drops with his

102
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:34,719
Speaker 1: white outs, but man, they just they could not get

103
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 1: anything going there with the passing game. Yeah. I think

104
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:39,480
Speaker 1: this is a big indeamon on Derek Carr for for

105
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 1: all the things that we want to say that he is.

106
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 1: And I man, I thought he was playing at a

107
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:46,479
Speaker 1: level that was um I mean, probably the best that

108
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:48,360
Speaker 1: we have seen him play throughout his career. Hitting into

109
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:51,560
Speaker 1: this game, he cannot put the weight of the offense

110
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:53,720
Speaker 1: on his shoulders. Time and time again, he has been

111
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:57,080
Speaker 1: unable to kind of bring, uh bring this offense through

112
00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 1: when they need him, and so I think for John Gruten,

113
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 1: he has to make a see your decision on how

114
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:02,800
Speaker 1: he wants to build his team going forward. I know

115
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:05,159
Speaker 1: they have a lot of money sunk into Derek Carr,

116
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:07,599
Speaker 1: but if he's not able to kind of take over

117
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 1: the offense when they needed, they don't have to run

118
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 1: a game to prop him up. What good is he

119
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 1: is one of those things that they have to talk

120
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:15,279
Speaker 1: about in your off season. You want to keep us

121
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 1: rolling here, let's do it. The Patriots keep winning ugly.

122
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 1: Prescott takes the snap. Patriots rush five. Prescott throws down

123
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 1: the middle for Cooper, dives and makes the catch. He

124
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:29,159
Speaker 1: has it for first at all on his first reception

125
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 1: of the game, about forty five of Dallas. He kill

126
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 1: on that one. WHOA the Patriots. It's official, the play

127
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:41,040
Speaker 1: is going to be stopped. The replay official diving the

128
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 1: ball came out of his hands and get the ground

129
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:45,160
Speaker 1: that he had the aid of the ground of the

130
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 1: bounce to gather it in should be getting complained upon review.

131
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:51,720
Speaker 1: You know, when I look at the New England Patriots,

132
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:54,279
Speaker 1: I think the one thing that strikes me is they

133
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:56,880
Speaker 1: just played great, complimentary ball and putting themselves always in

134
00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 1: a position to win. And I'm gonna say Tom Brady

135
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:01,839
Speaker 1: has not played great. That Tom Brady to me, is

136
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 1: on a serious descent and they're having to win in

137
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 1: spite of him. And what we saw against the Dallas Cowboys,

138
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 1: we saw a team that relies under defense their special

139
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 1: teams to win games. Their special teams in particular did

140
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:16,960
Speaker 1: a great job of creating opportunities. You had to block punt.

141
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:19,839
Speaker 1: We had a couple of penalties that they forced. We

142
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:22,560
Speaker 1: had some misplays of the ball by the Dallas Cowboys.

143
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 1: And because their special teams were able to set them

144
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 1: up in good field position or forced the Cowboys to

145
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:30,159
Speaker 1: drive the length of the field, they were able to

146
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 1: control the game. This Patriots is a team. This Patriots

147
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 1: team is one they expose your biggest flaws, and I

148
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:39,479
Speaker 1: think for the Dallas Cowboys, they exposed the lack of

149
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:42,880
Speaker 1: attention to detail. Every team that faces the Patriots have

150
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:44,919
Speaker 1: to really you really have to be button up to

151
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 1: deal with them, and if you're not button up, they'll

152
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:49,600
Speaker 1: find a way to win those games. Yeah. Look, I

153
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 1: I want to get to the Patriots or the Cowboys

154
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 1: side of this thing because it's it's kind of the

155
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 1: most newsworthy. I mean that, you know, I agree with

156
00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,359
Speaker 1: you Bu that that's just how we've come to know

157
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:02,720
Speaker 1: the Patriots. I mean, is anybody surprised that with inferior

158
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:04,320
Speaker 1: talent on the offensive side of the ball, they go

159
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:07,239
Speaker 1: out and still win the game? Um, Jerry Jones comments,

160
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:10,320
Speaker 1: and this one we're the most telling to me, Um,

161
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 1: special teams is a totally reflection of coaching. That's a

162
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 1: quote from Jerry Jones. And this one, Um, let's see

163
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:19,880
Speaker 1: Jerry Jones, I don't think there's a game that a

164
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 1: coaching staff has that it couldn't do better in. I

165
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 1: just don't like that we've got so many of them.

166
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:28,720
Speaker 1: As I'm standing here tonight, he said, I mean, you know,

167
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:31,920
Speaker 1: it was just it was the strongest comments. And this

168
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:33,920
Speaker 1: is the last one I'll leave you with. It's frustrating

169
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 1: to me to just be reminded that some of the

170
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 1: fundamentals of football and coaching were what beat us out

171
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:43,360
Speaker 1: there today. I mean, look, that's gonna make for some

172
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:47,400
Speaker 1: awkward interactions around Frisco in the Star there this week.

173
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:51,040
Speaker 1: I mean that those are damning comments. DJ. Well, here's

174
00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:54,120
Speaker 1: the thing. There's this. This sounds kind of weird, but

175
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 1: there's no shame in in getting out coached by Bill

176
00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:01,160
Speaker 1: Belichick to everybody. Right, Okay, this is not the game

177
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 1: where you make that comment. You know, when you make

178
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:05,040
Speaker 1: that comment, you make that comment when you lose to

179
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 1: the Jets, that's when you that's when you make that comment.

180
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 1: This game. I mean, he's done it to everybody. So uh,

181
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:16,520
Speaker 1: the special teams were the difference in this football game. Cowboys.

182
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:18,000
Speaker 1: I thought, if you want to find a positive, man,

183
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:20,680
Speaker 1: their defense was outstanding, really kept them in this football

184
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:24,200
Speaker 1: game throughout. Um, you know, look that the offense struggle.

185
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 1: I just don't know that that's the headline because every

186
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:30,040
Speaker 1: offense outside Lamar Jackson, every single offense has done nothing

187
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:32,600
Speaker 1: against this Patriots defense. Then you throw a wind and

188
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 1: weather in on top of it. I don't know what

189
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:36,559
Speaker 1: the expectation was that they were going to do offensively

190
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:38,440
Speaker 1: in this ball game well, and I think Tom Brady

191
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:41,840
Speaker 1: was right. I mean, the Patriots are winning with defense

192
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:44,400
Speaker 1: and special teams. You go back to their first ten points, uh,

193
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 1: the only TD of the game coming off the block punt.

194
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 1: They needed just two plays in twelve yards to put

195
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:51,000
Speaker 1: a TV up off. After the block punt um they

196
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 1: went to nikkil Harry. Their first field goal comes off

197
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 1: the Gilmore interception. They went four plays in three yards

198
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 1: and kicked the field goal and they were up to nothing.

199
00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:01,080
Speaker 1: I mean like that, you know, the offense is opportunistic,

200
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 1: and you have to be opportunistic to win in this league.

201
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:07,000
Speaker 1: But I mean Tom Brady's absolutely right. Echoes defense, special

202
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:09,679
Speaker 1: teams in an offense for this Patriots team right now. Yeah,

203
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:11,599
Speaker 1: I think the big thing for any team that is

204
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:13,440
Speaker 1: dealing with the Patriots, they have to be able to

205
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:16,280
Speaker 1: fight through the mystique because Tom Brady no longer has

206
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:19,000
Speaker 1: the magic. He doesn't have the ability to kind of

207
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:21,839
Speaker 1: put this offense on his right arm and carry them.

208
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:24,080
Speaker 1: And look, we've seen this from the end of last season.

209
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:25,600
Speaker 1: If you go back and you really look at how

210
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:27,600
Speaker 1: the Patriots won the Super Bowl, they wanted because they're

211
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 1: running game, their defense played well, in the postseason. This season,

212
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:33,720
Speaker 1: Tom Brady came out to a great start in the

213
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 1: first three games, but since that point he's been a

214
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:40,840
Speaker 1: bottom third quarterback in nearly every category. And so teams

215
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:43,400
Speaker 1: that are facing the Patriots they have to ignore who

216
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:46,439
Speaker 1: number twelve is because number twelve comes out like Mike Tyson,

217
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:49,439
Speaker 1: but he's the old Mike Tyson, not the young one.

218
00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:52,120
Speaker 1: That's a that's a great point. That's a great point, bucket.

219
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 1: And uh, one of the things I want to add

220
00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:56,600
Speaker 1: about the Patriots think about this. Okay, we all agree

221
00:09:56,679 --> 00:10:01,200
Speaker 1: Belichick's the best coach and football and debatably time. When

222
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:04,320
Speaker 1: you look at their path, He's gonna have two weeks

223
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 1: right coming off of by They're gonna have two weeks

224
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:09,120
Speaker 1: to get ready to play a team at home. If

225
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:12,559
Speaker 1: they win that game, then they're gonna get one game

226
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:15,160
Speaker 1: with only a week of preparation. But it's gonna be

227
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:16,920
Speaker 1: at home, and then they're gonna turn around and get

228
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 1: two weeks to prepare. No, it's just like this whole thing.

229
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:22,760
Speaker 1: When you look at you're like, Okay, they don't have

230
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:24,920
Speaker 1: it perfect. They're gonna get two home games in the

231
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 1: super Bowl. It's it's it's with a buy in two

232
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:30,720
Speaker 1: of those three games. Like it's it's ridiculous. It's such

233
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 1: such an advantage when you have a coach like Bill Belichick. Yeah,

234
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:35,880
Speaker 1: because they mastered the formula of how to win and so, like,

235
00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:38,280
Speaker 1: I really believe they used a regular season. It's kind

236
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:40,719
Speaker 1: of like an experimental process for the first three months

237
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:42,480
Speaker 1: of the season. Did in December they hone in on

238
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:46,719
Speaker 1: who they are. Um, you're right, DJ. When they play

239
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 1: in the playoffs, they always have the advantage of getting

240
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:51,400
Speaker 1: the Bay so two to get into the super Bowl.

241
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:54,120
Speaker 1: And so in a one game scenario, if you Bill Belichick,

242
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:56,800
Speaker 1: you take your chance versus any NFL team because in

243
00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:59,599
Speaker 1: a one game they can always come up with it

244
00:10:59,880 --> 00:11:01,360
Speaker 1: if they can get past the Chiefs. Here in a

245
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:05,000
Speaker 1: couple of weeks, Chiefs. Wow, okay, they'll be the Chiefs.

246
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:07,280
Speaker 1: The chief the Chiefs. The details that we just talked about,

247
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:12,360
Speaker 1: the details, the details, they're not detailed enough. One, All right,

248
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:15,440
Speaker 1: should I keep the train moving here? Alright, I'm gonna

249
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:17,920
Speaker 1: take us down to the NFC South where Jamis Winston

250
00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 1: has the best short term memory in NFL history. The

251
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:26,959
Speaker 1: staff five seven step dropped by wants to looks up field,

252
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:30,080
Speaker 1: those of all upfield, he has god one. He makes

253
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:32,319
Speaker 1: the catch of the thirty to the twenty, got one

254
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:35,800
Speaker 1: of the chat five touch stop. Tampa Bay Bocks lead

255
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:41,240
Speaker 1: the Falcon six to three. Jamis Winston through his career

256
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:46,360
Speaker 1: high nineteenth interception on his very first past attempt in

257
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:48,760
Speaker 1: this game in Atlanta. I said it on Game Day

258
00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:53,200
Speaker 1: Live yesterday, that will not stop him from firing once again.

259
00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:56,160
Speaker 1: And on the very next drive he has no conscience,

260
00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:59,760
Speaker 1: as no conscience with the football. That will not stop

261
00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:02,480
Speaker 1: him from going right back to the well. And I

262
00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:05,120
Speaker 1: think you like that quality, You like that ability to

263
00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:08,720
Speaker 1: turn the page to reset, refresh, block all that out,

264
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:10,960
Speaker 1: get that out of your short term memory and move on.

265
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:13,959
Speaker 1: He did just that. Very next possession, he fired in

266
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:16,760
Speaker 1: a terrific tight window throw to Chris Godwin that went

267
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:20,719
Speaker 1: seventy one yards for a score. He then comes back

268
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:22,880
Speaker 1: out in the next drive and throws another interception, his

269
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:26,320
Speaker 1: twentie of the season, which was also his one career

270
00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:30,559
Speaker 1: turnover in his fifth season. He comes back to two

271
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:34,160
Speaker 1: drives later, though, and leads another touchdown drive throws another

272
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:39,200
Speaker 1: touchdown pass. His short term memory is insane. He does

273
00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:42,520
Speaker 1: not care about the past, he will keep firing. I

274
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 1: think you love that. The problem here is his long

275
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:50,120
Speaker 1: term memory of I've had problems turning the football over.

276
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:52,880
Speaker 1: I need to be more judicious with the football has

277
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 1: not registered. It's like groundhog Day in that effect, and

278
00:12:57,240 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 1: again five years in. It makes you under if he

279
00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:05,840
Speaker 1: is losing or already has lost defranchise quarterback designation because

280
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:09,480
Speaker 1: a hundred total turnovers is not a ringing endorsement. But

281
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:13,320
Speaker 1: outside of that, he consistently shows you that he can

282
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:17,440
Speaker 1: win games. What the world do you do? Well, I've

283
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:19,040
Speaker 1: said it a buck I've said the same thing with

284
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:21,160
Speaker 1: Jamos right. He does a great job of keeping both

285
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:23,840
Speaker 1: teams in the game yours and there's he's capable of

286
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:26,200
Speaker 1: beating the best, he's capable of losing to the worst.

287
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:29,439
Speaker 1: It is a wild roller coaster ride that you go

288
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:32,080
Speaker 1: on with Jamis Winston. Now, can you ever be a

289
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:35,520
Speaker 1: consistent winner with an inconsistent quarterback? I don't believe he can.

290
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:37,400
Speaker 1: So then you have to make the tough call take

291
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:40,440
Speaker 1: away so that to me, I would be and I

292
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:42,480
Speaker 1: would be in search of the next one because it

293
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:44,440
Speaker 1: is high highs, low lows, and this has been his

294
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:46,720
Speaker 1: pattern for a long time. Now, I don't know that

295
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:48,600
Speaker 1: it's going to change. He's a he's like a high

296
00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:51,520
Speaker 1: volume score. I mean, like just jacking up shots from

297
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:53,640
Speaker 1: all over the place. So here's the funny thing about

298
00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:56,520
Speaker 1: Jamis Winston, and here's why I actually think Jason Lte

299
00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:58,920
Speaker 1: has a tough decision to make. So we talked about

300
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:01,920
Speaker 1: Jamis Winston those first five years having a hundred giveaways.

301
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:04,360
Speaker 1: Do you know who had more giveaways than Jamis Winston,

302
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:07,360
Speaker 1: Peyton Manning? Peyton Mannings at the top of the list.

303
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:10,520
Speaker 1: I know, but like still, so when you think about it,

304
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:12,000
Speaker 1: like what you have to make a decision on is

305
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:13,959
Speaker 1: do you want to hit the reset button at the

306
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:16,839
Speaker 1: quarterback position? And are we guaranteed of getting a better

307
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:20,080
Speaker 1: player or a proven product? I think that is one

308
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:21,880
Speaker 1: of the things that Bruce Arians and his staff have

309
00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:24,520
Speaker 1: to figure out. I'm Bruce Arians, I'm nearing the end

310
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:27,200
Speaker 1: of a long coaching career. Do I want to wait

311
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:28,720
Speaker 1: for young got to get it? Can I find a

312
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:32,040
Speaker 1: veteran player that I can kind of rehab or am

313
00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 1: I better serve to sit here and figure out what

314
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:36,600
Speaker 1: I can do with Jamis Weston. I do believe it

315
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:39,320
Speaker 1: is a roller coaster ride each and every week, not

316
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:42,320
Speaker 1: even each and every week, each and every series, you

317
00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:45,640
Speaker 1: don't know what you're gonna get from Jamis Weston perfect example.

318
00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:48,640
Speaker 1: But this game was You're right, it is the perfect

319
00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:52,320
Speaker 1: example of who he is. First play, interception, comes back,

320
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:57,080
Speaker 1: has his eight three hundred yard game he has. I mean,

321
00:14:57,120 --> 00:15:00,240
Speaker 1: like so, I really don't know how we evalue eight

322
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:04,280
Speaker 1: him because he is up and down and I just think, man,

323
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:06,640
Speaker 1: for all the questions that he brings, he also gives

324
00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:08,640
Speaker 1: you some answers. But I don't know which direction you go.

325
00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:11,360
Speaker 1: If you're Jason Lytton temporary Buccaneers, it's it's a devil

326
00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:13,840
Speaker 1: you know or devil you don't. That's what I don't know. Man.

327
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:17,080
Speaker 1: That's that's a that's a high blood pressure. They living

328
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:20,680
Speaker 1: right there watching watching that that act every single week.

329
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:22,280
Speaker 1: I will add this last thing for move on to

330
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:25,240
Speaker 1: the next one. Tampa's young defense Vida Vea with the sack,

331
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:28,520
Speaker 1: Devin White, the rookie linebacker, two sacks, Shack Barrett, who's

332
00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:30,280
Speaker 1: one of the best free agent editions we've seen over

333
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:33,600
Speaker 1: the last several years. Um really really some good young pieces.

334
00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:35,040
Speaker 1: Now they need to they need to get the secondary

335
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:37,640
Speaker 1: figured out there. That's still a work in progress. Um,

336
00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:39,640
Speaker 1: but some good young players there in the front seven,

337
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:42,080
Speaker 1: so um, some hope there for the for the Bucks

338
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:44,640
Speaker 1: going forward. I'll keep it, keep it moving here. Let's

339
00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:47,440
Speaker 1: go to the Bears. I thought this was a season

340
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:50,920
Speaker 1: saving stop. It forked and four play clock to one

341
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:53,880
Speaker 1: sends it back to Joan scrambling to his left, bitch

342
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 1: chased by Floyd who hits him as he throws the past.

343
00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:59,160
Speaker 1: It's broke it up first side of the field. The

344
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:02,920
Speaker 1: big pressure up by Leonard Floyd save today a throw

345
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:05,400
Speaker 1: broke it up as well by Prince of Kamara head

346
00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:08,840
Speaker 1: around the forty five yard line of the Giants, and

347
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:12,600
Speaker 1: the Giants turn it over on downs. All right, as

348
00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:14,360
Speaker 1: bad as it's been for the Bears, let's hear me

349
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:18,840
Speaker 1: out here. Red Saver come on at the Lions. At

350
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:21,960
Speaker 1: the Lions next week. With Matt Stafford's health situation, I

351
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:23,800
Speaker 1: feel like the Bears have a chance to go win

352
00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:25,720
Speaker 1: that football game that puts them at six and six.

353
00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:28,680
Speaker 1: Right then they have a big one. It's a home

354
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:31,360
Speaker 1: game against the Cowboys, who the Cowboys, I believe, not

355
00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:33,240
Speaker 1: beat a team with the winning record this year. Average

356
00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:35,480
Speaker 1: is the day is long. That is a Sunday night

357
00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:39,360
Speaker 1: game against the Cowboys, so they get their next two

358
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:41,480
Speaker 1: games all of a sudden, Now you're seven and six,

359
00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:44,240
Speaker 1: you come down the stretch, You've got Packers, Chief's Vikings. Now,

360
00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:46,800
Speaker 1: as bad as that sounds, the Packers game was a

361
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 1: one possession game early in the season. They beat the

362
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:52,040
Speaker 1: Vikings earlier this year, and the Chiefs a little bit

363
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:54,280
Speaker 1: up and down with the Chiefs. I'm just saying, this

364
00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:56,880
Speaker 1: is not it's not They're not dead. I thought we

365
00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:58,760
Speaker 1: all just kind of assumed. As bad as it's been

366
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:02,400
Speaker 1: for the Bears, they're kind of right in the mix here.

367
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:05,600
Speaker 1: There's still a lot of games the wild card. There

368
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:09,000
Speaker 1: are three games out of the division this game. There's

369
00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:15,119
Speaker 1: lots to play. There's lots left to play. There's five games.

370
00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:18,480
Speaker 1: They're three games out. I guess, I mean, I guess

371
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:22,520
Speaker 1: you're right, division games left. I just say, if they

372
00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:24,360
Speaker 1: lose this game, it's over. They're dead. If they can

373
00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:26,639
Speaker 1: beat Green Bay three times, they'll win the division. I

374
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:29,080
Speaker 1: mean in the last five games. I mean they play

375
00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:31,520
Speaker 1: them once. I mean, they're they're alive. But it's just

376
00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:33,320
Speaker 1: hard for me to take anything. They're going to win

377
00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:36,000
Speaker 1: the division. I'm looking at the wild card alright. It's

378
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:37,760
Speaker 1: hard me to take any confidence away from this. I

379
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:39,840
Speaker 1: know what your bisky had almost three hundred yards but

380
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:41,960
Speaker 1: a couple of interceptions. To me, he doesn't play with

381
00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:44,760
Speaker 1: enough confidence to lead them into the postseason. And I

382
00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:47,200
Speaker 1: don't know how Matt Naggie calls around that. Their defense

383
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:49,600
Speaker 1: certainly can come up big, can make plays. The only

384
00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:52,560
Speaker 1: surrendering seventeen point one points a game. That's the fewest

385
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:54,879
Speaker 1: by a team with the losing record. However, at the

386
00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:57,040
Speaker 1: end of the day, they're gonna be judged by their quarterback,

387
00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:58,880
Speaker 1: and I just don't know if their quarterback is good

388
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:01,399
Speaker 1: enough to get them over the top. We'll see. You

389
00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:03,639
Speaker 1: said it's a season saver. I just don't know what

390
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:07,679
Speaker 1: kind of season he's saving. The season is not over, boys.

391
00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:10,439
Speaker 1: If they lose that game, the season's over. This season

392
00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:12,240
Speaker 1: is not over. It's all I'm getting at here with

393
00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:16,240
Speaker 1: the Bears a game, you got a defibrillator out. But okay,

394
00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:18,080
Speaker 1: that's cool. Just let's go to a team that's actually

395
00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:20,640
Speaker 1: in the playoff picture. Buck, here we go. Ryan Tannehill

396
00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:26,919
Speaker 1: gives the Titans. Hope. Everybody said round forty, round thirty,

397
00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:32,240
Speaker 1: Crownd Frounning, Crownd Town, Crown five crown in tone, ladies

398
00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:38,879
Speaker 1: and gentlemen. That is sixty five yards, Jay Brown Titans,

399
00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:45,080
Speaker 1: the rookie props and a lot of excitement, a lot

400
00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:47,640
Speaker 1: of exciting look and it should be excited in Tennessee

401
00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:50,720
Speaker 1: because since they made the move with Ryan Tannehill, this

402
00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:53,000
Speaker 1: team is four and war four and one with him

403
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:55,200
Speaker 1: as the starting quarterback. He's had to pass a rating

404
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:57,240
Speaker 1: of a hundred plus and four of those five games.

405
00:18:57,520 --> 00:18:59,280
Speaker 1: And when you look at this game, I think we're

406
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:02,360
Speaker 1: beginning to finally see who Ryan Tannehill was in terms

407
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:04,040
Speaker 1: of what we thought he was going to be coming

408
00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:07,280
Speaker 1: out of Texas. M do a three quarterback making plays.

409
00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:10,120
Speaker 1: He's been efficient in the passing game, but also using

410
00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:12,720
Speaker 1: his legs and more importantly, I think it was telling

411
00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:16,040
Speaker 1: when Mike Rabriel talked about him giving the team hope.

412
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:18,800
Speaker 1: They believe in him because of the way that he's playing.

413
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:21,719
Speaker 1: The combination of Ryan Tannehill and Derry Kenry gives him

414
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:24,960
Speaker 1: a potent running attack. He's making plays off play action,

415
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:27,800
Speaker 1: and A. J. Brown has quickly become their number one

416
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:30,520
Speaker 1: option in the passing game. This time team is tough

417
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:33,199
Speaker 1: enough to be problematic. I don't know if they make

418
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:35,679
Speaker 1: the postseason, but they certainly are tough out right now.

419
00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:37,720
Speaker 1: You look at the look at the A. J. Brown's

420
00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 1: numbers here on the on the year, here at thirty

421
00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:44,119
Speaker 1: one one four touchdowns, He's got eight plays of twenty

422
00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:46,280
Speaker 1: plus yards. So it's it's a it's a really good

423
00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:48,880
Speaker 1: receiving group of rookies this year. We're seeing a bunch

424
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:51,040
Speaker 1: of guys, but he has come on and what he

425
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:53,040
Speaker 1: does best is what he does after the catch. And

426
00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:55,280
Speaker 1: when you get Ryan Tannehill, who likes to be efficient

427
00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:58,160
Speaker 1: and doesn't traditionally like to really push the ball deep

428
00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:00,360
Speaker 1: down the field, having guys that can run our that catch,

429
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:02,480
Speaker 1: that's how you have to build this team. Yeah, and look,

430
00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:05,120
Speaker 1: I think you go back to a decision that Mike

431
00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:07,920
Speaker 1: Rabel made more than a month ago, about six weeks ago,

432
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:10,760
Speaker 1: when he decided to bench a guy I mean, like

433
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:12,320
Speaker 1: you would have to say, was the face of the

434
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:15,640
Speaker 1: franchise and Marcus mariottas a number two overall pick back

435
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:18,159
Speaker 1: in two thousand and fifteen. I mean, so since then,

436
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:20,560
Speaker 1: they've got four and one. As you mentioned here, they're

437
00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:27,280
Speaker 1: averaging almost fifteen points more per game with Tannehill at quarterback.

438
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:30,800
Speaker 1: They're averaging almost a hundred more total yards a game

439
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:34,200
Speaker 1: with Tannehill at quarterback. They're converting ten percent more on

440
00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:37,959
Speaker 1: third down. It does make me wonder, you know, are

441
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:41,920
Speaker 1: they calling the game differently with Tannehill at quarterback. I

442
00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:44,600
Speaker 1: mean maybe, but they're still heavy. They're still heavy run

443
00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:47,960
Speaker 1: team with Derrick Henry. It's just they're operating more efficiently.

444
00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:50,440
Speaker 1: And uh, look, I mean I think that was a

445
00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:52,920
Speaker 1: great move by Mike rabel A hard one to make,

446
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:56,080
Speaker 1: um considering the statue of Mariota, but clearly it's paying off.

447
00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:59,520
Speaker 1: And this is absolutely a playoff contender here. Yeah, let's

448
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:02,080
Speaker 1: go on the other side because the Jacksonville Jaguars, man,

449
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:04,920
Speaker 1: it's not they're not. But since they've gone with Nick Foles,

450
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:06,880
Speaker 1: this doesn't look like the same team. Lloyd, and I'm

451
00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:09,199
Speaker 1: not saying they're gonna mess you was the answer as

452
00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:11,680
Speaker 1: the franchise quarterback. But I do believe they have found

453
00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:13,520
Speaker 1: a bit of an identity. They were running the ball,

454
00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:15,920
Speaker 1: they're being efficient off play action. They're a little more

455
00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:18,360
Speaker 1: under center, which really helps Leonard for net because he's

456
00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:21,440
Speaker 1: more of a downhill runner from a traditional I formation

457
00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:24,840
Speaker 1: nick Foles. Look, if Nick Voles has to throw the

458
00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:27,320
Speaker 1: ball almost fifty times, you're gonna lose games thirty two

459
00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:32,200
Speaker 1: or seventy two. Is just not the kind of style

460
00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:34,879
Speaker 1: that Jacksonville has equipped to play. And I think this

461
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:38,240
Speaker 1: is telling indictment on the lack of identity that they

462
00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:41,080
Speaker 1: have when Nick Foles is their starting quarterback in DJ

463
00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:44,639
Speaker 1: But and I agree with that Bucky just defensively, this

464
00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:49,320
Speaker 1: team defense, and I don't know how you can get

465
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:51,720
Speaker 1: that bad after having that many picks in the top

466
00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:54,920
Speaker 1: ten in what five of the last six years, five

467
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:57,880
Speaker 1: of the last seven years. They all play for the Rams. Well,

468
00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:01,480
Speaker 1: they all played of the Rams. And also like part

469
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:03,040
Speaker 1: of the reason they were able to be really good

470
00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:05,600
Speaker 1: on defense is because the offense protecting them a little bit.

471
00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:07,840
Speaker 1: When you run the ball, you expose your defense to

472
00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:10,480
Speaker 1: fewer snaps. By throwing the ball more, they're now putting

473
00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:12,840
Speaker 1: their defense on the field more, and we're seeing there

474
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:14,920
Speaker 1: wearing down. They're just not able to hold up. And

475
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:18,000
Speaker 1: so part of it is Doug Moron and even Tom Coughlin.

476
00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:19,440
Speaker 1: They have to come to a meeting of the minds

477
00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:22,159
Speaker 1: in terms of how they play. The complementary style has

478
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:24,439
Speaker 1: to work for each component. Yeah, we look at Fowler,

479
00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:27,520
Speaker 1: you look also at a Jalen Rams, also Telvin Smith,

480
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:30,160
Speaker 1: that whole situation. That's another good point for the seasons. Yeah,

481
00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:33,240
Speaker 1: those are three pretty good playmakers for defense. It's still

482
00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:35,160
Speaker 1: some really good players up front, though, to be giving

483
00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:37,520
Speaker 1: up that much, that much on the ground weekend and

484
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:40,040
Speaker 1: week out. Um from the Jaguars. All right, I'll move

485
00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:43,600
Speaker 1: us on here. Uh, the Saints will win the division.

486
00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:48,760
Speaker 1: But what else? And will LUTs from thirty three yards?

487
00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:51,440
Speaker 1: Zach Wood hold his down, kick his up and it

488
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:56,000
Speaker 1: is good. That's good will? What's this good? From thirty

489
00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:58,720
Speaker 1: three and the New Orleans Saints are gonna win this

490
00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:02,920
Speaker 1: one thirty four to thirty one. So the last part

491
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:05,800
Speaker 1: of that call, Zax Street right there. The last part

492
00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:09,439
Speaker 1: of that call was his broadcast partner duce McAlister saying, oh,

493
00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:12,440
Speaker 1: too much drama for me, Zach, too much drama for

494
00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:14,960
Speaker 1: me and this one. And you know what, I I

495
00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:17,640
Speaker 1: kind of agree. There was some drama in this game

496
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:20,280
Speaker 1: here for the Saints. That kind of gives you two

497
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:23,200
Speaker 1: schools of thought. In this one. The first school thought being, look,

498
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:25,000
Speaker 1: this is a division game. It can be close, no

499
00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:27,240
Speaker 1: matter of the records. And yes, the Panthers have lost

500
00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:29,359
Speaker 1: a few gun uh in the last couple of weeks

501
00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:31,360
Speaker 1: here Kyle Allen has not played well, but look, it's

502
00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:33,400
Speaker 1: a division game. They know each other well. They played close.

503
00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:36,439
Speaker 1: You had the p I call challenge from Ron Rivera

504
00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:38,640
Speaker 1: that gave them an extra three downs from inside the ten,

505
00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:41,200
Speaker 1: and then he had the missfield goal by Carolina. Obviously,

506
00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:44,000
Speaker 1: this game could have gone a lot of different directions

507
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:47,600
Speaker 1: based on those things not turning out the way they did.

508
00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:49,959
Speaker 1: I get that, uh. And this kind of grit from

509
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:51,919
Speaker 1: a Saints team to win a game down the stretch

510
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:54,240
Speaker 1: in the last minute of game could serve them well

511
00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:56,680
Speaker 1: down the road. Right. But two weeks ago they lose

512
00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:59,040
Speaker 1: at home to Atlanta, who was reeling. That's always a

513
00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:01,080
Speaker 1: tough game with the Falcons. I get that they blew

514
00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:04,040
Speaker 1: a fourteen point early lead in this game. Alvin Camaro

515
00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:07,640
Speaker 1: was non existent in the first half. Uh. And then

516
00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:12,040
Speaker 1: you know, I feel like I don't feel as good

517
00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:14,440
Speaker 1: about the Saints as I did a month ago. And

518
00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:18,720
Speaker 1: I think Drew Brees is still it's like shattering completion

519
00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:21,320
Speaker 1: percentage records. So that leads me to think, look, something's

520
00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:23,879
Speaker 1: something's different on defense, right, They're just not They're not

521
00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:25,680
Speaker 1: playing well as well as they had in the first

522
00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:27,760
Speaker 1: part of the season on defense, and I think a

523
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:31,040
Speaker 1: large part of that can be attributed to Marshawn Lattimore's absence.

524
00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:32,960
Speaker 1: But boy, you hate to say one player in the

525
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:34,920
Speaker 1: whole and the wheels fall off the bus on defense.

526
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:37,320
Speaker 1: But I think we'll learn a lot about this Saints

527
00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:39,720
Speaker 1: team in the next two weeks. You gotta Thanksgiving Night

528
00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:43,200
Speaker 1: game against Atlanta coming up here in just three days,

529
00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:45,160
Speaker 1: and then you're gonna have a game against the forty

530
00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:46,880
Speaker 1: niners in a couple of weeks, and I think we'll

531
00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:49,440
Speaker 1: know pretty quickly where the Saints team stands. Yeah, I

532
00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:50,840
Speaker 1: agree with you. This is it. That's gonna be a

533
00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:54,040
Speaker 1: big game. Yeah, different looking Saints team. This is the

534
00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:55,920
Speaker 1: Saints team that we saw earlier year. They were a

535
00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:57,760
Speaker 1: dominant team. They didn't waste time with teams that they

536
00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:01,000
Speaker 1: were supposed to be. This game kind of lingered back

537
00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:02,880
Speaker 1: and forth. You can't waiting for them when they're gonna

538
00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:04,280
Speaker 1: knock him out. The should be able to knock out

539
00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:07,120
Speaker 1: the Carolina Panthers, and they let them kind of hang

540
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:09,959
Speaker 1: around to the point they really needed a misfield goal

541
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:12,159
Speaker 1: than the opportunity from Jew Brees to run a two

542
00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:15,480
Speaker 1: minute drill to get it done. And so defensively they've

543
00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:17,400
Speaker 1: slipped a little bit offensively. I would like to see

544
00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:19,800
Speaker 1: him run the ball a little better. Um, I see

545
00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:23,800
Speaker 1: eighteen carries. I see a hundred in eight eighteen yards

546
00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:27,120
Speaker 1: from Murray and kamar Man. They if they're deaded fishing,

547
00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:29,080
Speaker 1: they could get more. They still need to run the

548
00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:31,000
Speaker 1: ball so they can control the clock. I just think

549
00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:33,520
Speaker 1: they just need to get shake the boardom out and

550
00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:35,480
Speaker 1: kind of focus on the last one, make sure they're

551
00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:38,840
Speaker 1: playing the right way. Yeah, we always talk about trying

552
00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:41,520
Speaker 1: to find waldough Buck. We've been talking about that forever, right,

553
00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:44,040
Speaker 1: p J. Williams, where's your Waldo? And sure? And that

554
00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:46,639
Speaker 1: was d J Moore on p J Williams on every

555
00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:50,480
Speaker 1: big play, both touchdowns, another big play. Um, he just

556
00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:53,600
Speaker 1: spun him around. So you get healthy Marshawn Lattimore out here.

557
00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:56,280
Speaker 1: He can match up, he can travel, he travels with

558
00:25:56,359 --> 00:25:57,919
Speaker 1: DJ more. I think maybe this is a little bit

559
00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:00,480
Speaker 1: different game. I really thought um, they missed him and

560
00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:01,920
Speaker 1: this one. But I do want to give some credit

561
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:04,240
Speaker 1: on the other side. Kyle Allen coming off a horrendous

562
00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:08,600
Speaker 1: game there against the Falcons. Four picks, he got them

563
00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:10,880
Speaker 1: and kept them in this football game. Played a great game,

564
00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:13,760
Speaker 1: three touchdowns, moving the ball up and down the field.

565
00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:16,359
Speaker 1: So nice. Nice to see a young quarterback show a

566
00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:18,200
Speaker 1: little resiliency there. And last thing I'll say on this

567
00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:21,040
Speaker 1: one before you move us on here, DJ Toronto Armstead

568
00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:24,840
Speaker 1: stud left tackle for the Saints. High ankle sprain, and

569
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:27,920
Speaker 1: you know that's an injury that can kind of take

570
00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:31,280
Speaker 1: a month to really get up get back to. So

571
00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:33,720
Speaker 1: keep an eye on that one for the Saints moving forward.

572
00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:36,280
Speaker 1: Oh that's a big one. We'll stay in the NFC

573
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:39,520
Speaker 1: for the next one. Here. The Philadelphia Eagles are a mess.

574
00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:44,240
Speaker 1: Sanders the single setbackle once is gonna flow. He does,

575
00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:47,560
Speaker 1: takes the shotguns snap far side, it's picked off. It's

576
00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:50,920
Speaker 1: tray Flowers who picks it off. Ball intended on the

577
00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:55,639
Speaker 1: far side for Matthews. Tray Flowers and great position troll

578
00:26:55,800 --> 00:27:01,239
Speaker 1: maybe a scoast behind. Carson Wentz tosses another. All right,

579
00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:02,640
Speaker 1: let me go, you want me to go? Through. What's

580
00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:04,320
Speaker 1: wrong with the philadelph Eagles. Here, you guys, you got

581
00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:08,359
Speaker 1: let's start here, let's go. Uh. You know, arguably the

582
00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:10,200
Speaker 1: best or one of the top three right tackles in

583
00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:13,960
Speaker 1: the NFL lane Johnson not playing arguably the best or

584
00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:16,640
Speaker 1: top three guard. I would say Brandon Brooks. I think

585
00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:18,479
Speaker 1: he's played as well as any garden football this year.

586
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:22,200
Speaker 1: He's had some unfortunate anxiety issues, so he couldn't play

587
00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:23,919
Speaker 1: in this football game. So you're missing him. So you're

588
00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:26,119
Speaker 1: missing two key lineman. All right, that's that's one thing

589
00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:29,119
Speaker 1: you're missing. All right. Receiver wise, you're hurt, you're beat up.

590
00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:32,880
Speaker 1: Even when you're healthy. There's no speed, there's no playmakers

591
00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:35,920
Speaker 1: on the outside of this defense, none whatsoever. So you

592
00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:38,000
Speaker 1: get a pocket that's collapsing. You don't have a lot

593
00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:40,280
Speaker 1: of weapons to go with a football. Your quarterback gets

594
00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:42,160
Speaker 1: hit early, and then I don't know how it's to say,

595
00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:44,600
Speaker 1: I know he's got a hand thing, but uh, Carson,

596
00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:47,240
Speaker 1: he was like watching a second baseman who couldn't make

597
00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:49,040
Speaker 1: a throw of first. When you when you look at

598
00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:51,080
Speaker 1: some of the screens and easy lay up throws that

599
00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:53,600
Speaker 1: he was missing. Uh, just kinda didn't have his touch,

600
00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:56,120
Speaker 1: and then I thought you saw later on in the game,

601
00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:59,520
Speaker 1: after getting hit a bunch early, he starts seeing him

602
00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:01,960
Speaker 1: imagine pressure. And we we always talk about and scouting

603
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:04,400
Speaker 1: having your eyes and your feet connected. In other words,

604
00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:06,119
Speaker 1: when you start your read on the left side of

605
00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:08,280
Speaker 1: the field and and you move your eyes to the

606
00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:10,920
Speaker 1: right side, your feet have to follow you there. And

607
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:12,879
Speaker 1: he's in a bad habit where his feet are not

608
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:15,120
Speaker 1: connected to his eyes. And there's a key fourth down

609
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:18,800
Speaker 1: throw he missed, so missing players up front, missing players outside,

610
00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:21,600
Speaker 1: your quarterbacks getting hit, and then after when he's not

611
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:25,080
Speaker 1: getting hit, he's imagining pressure. Mechanically, he's falling apart. Um.

612
00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:27,520
Speaker 1: I meant play calling is not great. I mean, I

613
00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:29,120
Speaker 1: don't know what else there is to say. It's bad

614
00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:31,600
Speaker 1: all the way across the board. Here, Yeah, it is

615
00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:33,680
Speaker 1: bad all the way across the board. Um. You talked

616
00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:35,880
Speaker 1: about the lack of weapons that he has around, because

617
00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:37,160
Speaker 1: one thing that stands out to me when I watched

618
00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:39,800
Speaker 1: the field, because they're a very slow offense, and without

619
00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:42,440
Speaker 1: speed and closeness on the perimeter, they make it very

620
00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:45,120
Speaker 1: hard for the quarterback, UM to be able to get away.

621
00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:47,680
Speaker 1: They shrink his margin for error. And so if I'm

622
00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:49,040
Speaker 1: of Courson wins, why would I have a lot of

623
00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:51,080
Speaker 1: confidence throwing a ball out there when my guys can't

624
00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:53,640
Speaker 1: consistently separate And the two guys that they play with

625
00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:56,600
Speaker 1: yesterday on the outside, Greg Ward and Jordan Matthews, they

626
00:28:56,680 --> 00:29:01,120
Speaker 1: don't scare anybody on defense. Now he has to play better.

627
00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:02,840
Speaker 1: He has to take care of the ball, particularly in

628
00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:06,280
Speaker 1: the pocket. Too many fumbles that we're seeing, Um, And

629
00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:09,160
Speaker 1: I feel like Doug Peterson has to take some of

630
00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:11,480
Speaker 1: the pressure off of him by somehow finding a way

631
00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:15,440
Speaker 1: to generate a rushing attack. But until the Philadelphia Eagles

632
00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:18,280
Speaker 1: get more weapons on the outside, I just don't think

633
00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:21,480
Speaker 1: we're going to see the best that Carson Wentz could be. Yes,

634
00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:23,680
Speaker 1: some of this falls on him, but I can't really

635
00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:26,080
Speaker 1: take him to task until they get enough weapons around

636
00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:28,360
Speaker 1: him to give him a fighting chance against the dominant

637
00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:31,440
Speaker 1: team like the Seattle Seahawks. I was ugly man Um

638
00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:33,600
Speaker 1: credit the Eagles defense a little bit, though it felt

639
00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:36,320
Speaker 1: like the pass rushing and turnovers of their own coverage

640
00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:37,960
Speaker 1: has been much better since they've got a little bit

641
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:40,320
Speaker 1: healthier on that side. Jalen Mills made a couple of

642
00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:42,720
Speaker 1: plays in this game. It's just you guys are absolutely right,

643
00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:44,560
Speaker 1: and we can move it on here because the offense

644
00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:46,560
Speaker 1: just staying holding their into the bargain on this one now.

645
00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:48,400
Speaker 1: But we're gonna go to a team's whose offense is

646
00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:51,440
Speaker 1: is holding their own. Don't look now, but the brown

647
00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:56,080
Speaker 1: is a surgeon. Takes the SAP play Action pack to shop,

648
00:29:56,440 --> 00:29:59,080
Speaker 1: looking look at going down the field. There's back up

649
00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:08,160
Speaker 1: on there, Jay right dot com. Hey, this is exactly

650
00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:10,320
Speaker 1: what we thought was gonna happen. Right, They we had

651
00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:12,200
Speaker 1: the soft spot of the schedule. They were gonna find

652
00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:14,760
Speaker 1: their rhythm. They've riled off three straight wins at home.

653
00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:17,880
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield is now settling in. He's finding his weapons

654
00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:21,120
Speaker 1: on the outside. Jarvis Landry and Odell Beckham Jr. We

655
00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:24,400
Speaker 1: saw them combined for sixteen receptions and three touchdowns. This

656
00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:27,360
Speaker 1: is the Browns that we expect to see. Now we

657
00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:29,920
Speaker 1: can talk about it being, uh, the Miami Dolphins. The

658
00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:32,400
Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins aren't good, but if you're the Cleveland Browns,

659
00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:34,440
Speaker 1: you want three straight at least you have some confidence.

660
00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:37,640
Speaker 1: And I think Freddy Kitchens has finally kind of helped

661
00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:41,280
Speaker 1: them find an offensive identity. The offense now runs through

662
00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:45,520
Speaker 1: Nick Chubb. Everybody else is secondary. When the running game

663
00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:48,240
Speaker 1: is going with Nick Chupp and even Kareem Hunt, this

664
00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:51,960
Speaker 1: offense is more difficult to defend. I think Freddy Kitchens

665
00:30:52,040 --> 00:30:54,080
Speaker 1: has realized that, and I think this will be the

666
00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:56,440
Speaker 1: version of the Browns that we see going forward. So

667
00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:01,240
Speaker 1: we were talking about this earlier, the play action off

668
00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:04,120
Speaker 1: play action. Baker Mayfield two U thirty two yards perfect

669
00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:06,600
Speaker 1: passer rating off play action this game so when you

670
00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:09,280
Speaker 1: can run the football mentioned earlier, they've had what was

671
00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:11,760
Speaker 1: it nine games where they've had somebody rush over seventy yards.

672
00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:14,440
Speaker 1: They've got a ground game, Uh that helps him when

673
00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:16,680
Speaker 1: they use that ground game then off play action to

674
00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:19,120
Speaker 1: distribute the football. That's where Mayfield is comfortable. And I

675
00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:21,400
Speaker 1: don't think people understand it when we use Sometimes we

676
00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:23,520
Speaker 1: throw out terms or scouting terms. I don't know if

677
00:31:23,560 --> 00:31:25,880
Speaker 1: people really know what we're talking about. It doesn't make sense.

678
00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:30,280
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield is a rhythm passer, and there's a rhythm

679
00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:32,560
Speaker 1: to it when you're off play action because it's the

680
00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:35,360
Speaker 1: it's the ball handling back foot in the ground ball

681
00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:37,960
Speaker 1: has gone and you get into a nice comfortable flow

682
00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:40,080
Speaker 1: and rhythm, and I think you saw him get into

683
00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:42,960
Speaker 1: a rhythm very early in this game. Yeah, hundred fifty

684
00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:45,960
Speaker 1: five passer rating just near perfect on play action and

685
00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:49,880
Speaker 1: is actually his two hundred thirty two yards on play

686
00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:53,240
Speaker 1: action attempts actually the second most in a game since

687
00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:56,280
Speaker 1: we started tracking that stat since two thousand and sixteen.

688
00:31:56,600 --> 00:31:58,680
Speaker 1: I mean, they went in on the play on the

689
00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:01,280
Speaker 1: play pass in this one, and Bucky, you're absolutely right.

690
00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:03,520
Speaker 1: They beat a team they were supposed to beat, right,

691
00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:07,440
Speaker 1: the Miami Dolphins. Look, if we're gonna talk roster building,

692
00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:10,160
Speaker 1: as we do often on this on this show, I

693
00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:13,640
Speaker 1: just felt like it's it's necessary to throw this nugget

694
00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:18,280
Speaker 1: out there as well. So you can't tell the story

695
00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:21,960
Speaker 1: of the NFL without undrafted free agents. You absolutely can't.

696
00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:23,880
Speaker 1: There's some in the Hall of Fame, Kurt Warner, the

697
00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:26,840
Speaker 1: whole deal, But this is an issue when you have

698
00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:30,800
Speaker 1: three of your starting four dbs as undrafted free agents,

699
00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:33,200
Speaker 1: and then it goes further into Okay, so just listen

700
00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:35,640
Speaker 1: to this here. Ken Crawley started for the for the Dolphins.

701
00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:37,560
Speaker 1: Here he was an undrafted free agent. Was actually way

702
00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:40,920
Speaker 1: by New Orleans. Nick Needham undrafted free agent starter for

703
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:44,200
Speaker 1: the Dolphins. Stephen Parker, undrafted free agent starter for the

704
00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:46,880
Speaker 1: Dolphins in the defensive backfield. He was waived by the Rams,

705
00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:51,120
Speaker 1: and now six of their nine dbs that they played

706
00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:52,280
Speaker 1: in this game, I get it. Not all of them

707
00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:55,160
Speaker 1: played on defense. Somewhere on special teams are undrafted free

708
00:32:55,240 --> 00:32:59,520
Speaker 1: agents Ryan Lewis, Chris lamb Is, Jamal Wilt. Look something,

709
00:32:59,800 --> 00:33:01,880
Speaker 1: you know, you love to have some contributions from from

710
00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:04,040
Speaker 1: that section of your roster because you have to build

711
00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:05,920
Speaker 1: with some of those guys as well. But man, it's

712
00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:07,880
Speaker 1: tough to win when you know they can't all be

713
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:10,480
Speaker 1: first rounders, but you'd like to see I know they

714
00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:14,840
Speaker 1: put Davian Howard, Bobby McCann on injury. Yeah, but look, man,

715
00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:17,640
Speaker 1: that's tough. That is if it's just hard to win

716
00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:19,840
Speaker 1: without like top level talent in the back end. It

717
00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:22,000
Speaker 1: just limits what you're able to do. And sometimes you

718
00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:25,080
Speaker 1: can find an occasional gym in the undrafted market, but

719
00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:27,360
Speaker 1: to have so many of those guys in the back end,

720
00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:29,800
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just you just don't have enough talent

721
00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:31,480
Speaker 1: to be able to compete. And so we knew the

722
00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:34,719
Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins were rebuilding. We knew Brian Flores had got

723
00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:36,960
Speaker 1: this group to play hard. But when you're playing against

724
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:39,360
Speaker 1: two of the best wire receivers not only the Leaves

725
00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:42,720
Speaker 1: today but in NFL history, and Jarvis Landry and Odebeckham Jr.

726
00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:45,360
Speaker 1: Based on their numbers, it's just hard to expect the

727
00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:48,720
Speaker 1: most to compete. The most established dB they ran out

728
00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:51,040
Speaker 1: in this game was Eric Rowe, who is now you know,

729
00:33:51,120 --> 00:33:53,760
Speaker 1: on his third team with the Dolphins. So that looks

730
00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:56,360
Speaker 1: just just for some context, that's all say, all right,

731
00:33:56,440 --> 00:33:58,680
Speaker 1: let's keep the train moving here. And I got two words,

732
00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:02,120
Speaker 1: very simple, king kid. Here's gonna fake and boot left

733
00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:05,520
Speaker 1: against Richie James Jr. They're gonna throw a shot white

734
00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:10,520
Speaker 1: up at George Kennel twenty ten. Fie, he is back

735
00:34:11,120 --> 00:34:22,120
Speaker 1: touchdown Cisco. My goodness, what a play design. How good

736
00:34:22,160 --> 00:34:27,600
Speaker 1: does that feel? Feels great? Baby? George Channel feels great? Baby?

737
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:31,560
Speaker 1: Uh No, he makes it go. Man. I think if if,

738
00:34:31,719 --> 00:34:34,920
Speaker 1: if they have George Kittle in the Seahawks game, I

739
00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:37,480
Speaker 1: think we're talking about the four Niners are still undefeated

740
00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:40,120
Speaker 1: football team. I mean, he makes a huge difference because

741
00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:42,440
Speaker 1: not only what he does after the catch in the

742
00:34:42,480 --> 00:34:44,719
Speaker 1: passing game, but it's not a mystery that he helps

743
00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:46,280
Speaker 1: the run game as well. One of the best blocking

744
00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:48,239
Speaker 1: tight ends, he makes the he makes the whole thing

745
00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:51,120
Speaker 1: go offensively for the Niners. He does make you go.

746
00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:53,719
Speaker 1: And I think the big reason why he's such a

747
00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:56,200
Speaker 1: big fact that you talked about his contributions as a

748
00:34:56,239 --> 00:34:59,080
Speaker 1: receiver were really in the blocking game. So much of

749
00:34:59,120 --> 00:35:01,400
Speaker 1: what the San Francisco Barty nine is due really revolves

750
00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:05,120
Speaker 1: around the tight end and the fullback, meaning their versatility,

751
00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:10,239
Speaker 1: their interchangeable UH roles in terms of how they're utilized

752
00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:13,400
Speaker 1: in this offense poses a lot of problems to the defense.

753
00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:16,040
Speaker 1: And then when George Kittle can control the middle of

754
00:35:16,120 --> 00:35:19,399
Speaker 1: the field, it enables guys like Deebo Samuel to get

755
00:35:19,480 --> 00:35:21,640
Speaker 1: loose on the outside because you have to devote all

756
00:35:21,719 --> 00:35:23,920
Speaker 1: your sources to dealing with the tight end in the

757
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:26,600
Speaker 1: running game one on one on the outside. And we

758
00:35:26,719 --> 00:35:30,840
Speaker 1: are seeing Deebo Samuel is that that catching run playmaker

759
00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:32,560
Speaker 1: that we thought he would be when we watched him

760
00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:35,440
Speaker 1: at the Senior Bowl dominate the week of practice. He

761
00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:37,879
Speaker 1: has been a godsend for them. He is their number

762
00:35:37,920 --> 00:35:41,200
Speaker 1: one receiver outside of Kittle. This offense is dangerous and

763
00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:43,239
Speaker 1: we can't even talk about how good that defense is.

764
00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:47,840
Speaker 1: That defensive lights out. I think they've proven also, you

765
00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:50,920
Speaker 1: don't have to be a top ten pick to make

766
00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:53,040
Speaker 1: an impact on that defensive line. And then we've talked

767
00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:54,840
Speaker 1: about Chris Kaserk and the job that he's done for

768
00:35:54,880 --> 00:35:57,759
Speaker 1: the forty nine defensive line. Is their D line coach. Um,

769
00:35:57,960 --> 00:36:00,400
Speaker 1: I'll just give you a couple others here. DJ Jones,

770
00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:03,440
Speaker 1: sixth round pick in team, made a couple of big

771
00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:06,120
Speaker 1: plays in this game. Ronald Blair was a fifth round

772
00:36:06,160 --> 00:36:08,160
Speaker 1: pick back in sixteen. He's on I R, but he

773
00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:11,520
Speaker 1: was a huge part of their rotation before he got injured.

774
00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:13,800
Speaker 1: And then Julian Taylor another piece of it, the seventh

775
00:36:13,880 --> 00:36:16,480
Speaker 1: round pick. I mean, they get contributions from one to

776
00:36:16,600 --> 00:36:19,000
Speaker 1: eight in that D line room, and I think that's

777
00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:21,879
Speaker 1: I mean, when you've got the elite talent, that's awesome, Um,

778
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:23,960
Speaker 1: but to also then get it from the back end

779
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:26,799
Speaker 1: of the group is pretty special to Absolutely, they they're

780
00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:28,680
Speaker 1: playing really well on the back end. Jimmy Ward is

781
00:36:28,719 --> 00:36:30,719
Speaker 1: a really good football player. Buck. I don't know if

782
00:36:30,800 --> 00:36:32,320
Speaker 1: many people talk about him at all, but when you

783
00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:35,000
Speaker 1: watch that tape, uh, he jumps out with what he does,

784
00:36:35,080 --> 00:36:38,080
Speaker 1: not only making plays down the field in the past game,

785
00:36:38,120 --> 00:36:39,920
Speaker 1: but also coming up and supporting the run. He's a

786
00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:42,799
Speaker 1: good football player, really good football player. He's come on. Uh,

787
00:36:42,880 --> 00:36:44,680
Speaker 1: they done a really good job. And the advantage that

788
00:36:44,760 --> 00:36:47,440
Speaker 1: they have on defenses, they can win with four that

789
00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:49,480
Speaker 1: allows them to put max coverage in the back end

790
00:36:49,960 --> 00:36:52,839
Speaker 1: they make they make you play against very very tight

791
00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:55,080
Speaker 1: coverage to make you throw into tight windows. And we're

792
00:36:55,080 --> 00:36:58,560
Speaker 1: seeing their front four man, they get loose on everybody. Yeah,

793
00:36:58,680 --> 00:37:02,400
Speaker 1: and uh, DJ will have an XO on Jimmy Ward

794
00:37:02,480 --> 00:37:05,040
Speaker 1: if you tune into the Aftermath today three o'clock Eastern

795
00:37:05,120 --> 00:37:07,759
Speaker 1: time for about three hours, so you'll see that. Uh

796
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:11,440
Speaker 1: that the proof of Jimmy Ward's impact on this game

797
00:37:11,480 --> 00:37:16,120
Speaker 1: as well. So I'm we're taking here we go. My

798
00:37:16,200 --> 00:37:18,879
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills are flying under the radar. Now the snap,

799
00:37:19,239 --> 00:37:21,959
Speaker 1: here comes pressure. They pick it up. Josh fires, got

800
00:37:22,040 --> 00:37:24,719
Speaker 1: Cold Beasley at the five into the end zone. Touchdown,

801
00:37:25,239 --> 00:37:28,800
Speaker 1: touchdown Buffalo. They picked up the blitz and col Beasy

802
00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:32,000
Speaker 1: was open single coverage over the middle, Josh having fired

803
00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:36,560
Speaker 1: the strike. It's funny, hear me. I inserted that. My Yeah,

804
00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:38,480
Speaker 1: they ate and three. So the Buffalo Bills are looking

805
00:37:38,480 --> 00:37:43,120
Speaker 1: at it. When you pay, you can pick which ones

806
00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:45,440
Speaker 1: you like. So this week we'd a Buffalo Bills. I

807
00:37:45,520 --> 00:37:48,320
Speaker 1: think the thing that is impressive about the Buffalo Bills, quietly,

808
00:37:48,320 --> 00:37:50,320
Speaker 1: and I know they don't get a lot of national attention,

809
00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:53,319
Speaker 1: they have become more of an up tempo team. They're

810
00:37:53,360 --> 00:37:56,000
Speaker 1: going no huddle. Brian day Ball has put the game

811
00:37:56,040 --> 00:37:58,080
Speaker 1: more in Josh Allen's hands because they're getting to the

812
00:37:58,160 --> 00:38:00,400
Speaker 1: line and kind of controlling. He's able to kind of

813
00:38:00,520 --> 00:38:02,960
Speaker 1: use what we saw the Rams do with Sean McVeigh

814
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:06,200
Speaker 1: and Jerry Goffin. So they're going fast, they're playing fast,

815
00:38:06,280 --> 00:38:09,600
Speaker 1: but they're not throwing it recklessly on the perimeter. Twoto

816
00:38:09,719 --> 00:38:12,680
Speaker 1: total rush yards. Josh Allen only had twenty five attempts.

817
00:38:12,719 --> 00:38:15,000
Speaker 1: I think that's that is the sweet spot for him.

818
00:38:15,360 --> 00:38:19,080
Speaker 1: Anywhere twenty five to thirty attempts. That means they're playing

819
00:38:19,160 --> 00:38:20,640
Speaker 1: the game the way that they want to play it.

820
00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:22,879
Speaker 1: And even though he only had a hundred and eighty

821
00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:26,759
Speaker 1: five pass yards, two passing touchdowns, had nine rushes for

822
00:38:26,840 --> 00:38:29,920
Speaker 1: fifty six yards. I've talked about him being kind of

823
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:33,480
Speaker 1: a scale down version of Cam Newton for Sean McDermott.

824
00:38:33,680 --> 00:38:36,440
Speaker 1: I think they have found a way to utilize him

825
00:38:36,680 --> 00:38:38,560
Speaker 1: in a way that would allow him to win games

826
00:38:38,719 --> 00:38:41,840
Speaker 1: without putting the ball in harm's way. They ran the

827
00:38:41,920 --> 00:38:44,440
Speaker 1: heck out of it, man forty seven times. They rushed

828
00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:47,040
Speaker 1: the football in this game. Um, you throw it twenty five,

829
00:38:47,080 --> 00:38:50,040
Speaker 1: you running forty seven times, and you're getting the ability

830
00:38:50,040 --> 00:38:52,719
Speaker 1: to run the football. Because Devin Singletary, the young rookie,

831
00:38:52,800 --> 00:38:54,440
Speaker 1: is really starting to come on. And when he was

832
00:38:54,480 --> 00:38:56,000
Speaker 1: coming out, I compared him. I said, he's like a

833
00:38:56,040 --> 00:38:58,279
Speaker 1: mini McCoy. He's like a mini Lashawn McCoy with his

834
00:38:58,360 --> 00:39:00,600
Speaker 1: quick feet and change of direction, and we're starting to

835
00:39:00,640 --> 00:39:02,359
Speaker 1: see that he just kind of ducks and hides back

836
00:39:02,400 --> 00:39:04,480
Speaker 1: there and then he's not gonna hit you a bunch

837
00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:07,880
Speaker 1: of forties and fifties, but he hits a bunch of eight, nine, ten, elevens.

838
00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:10,480
Speaker 1: That's what he does. So again, I hate to be

839
00:39:10,640 --> 00:39:14,880
Speaker 1: the uh, you know, the dark cloud here, haven't. Just

840
00:39:15,719 --> 00:39:19,439
Speaker 1: for some context, the Bills the three teams that they've

841
00:39:19,560 --> 00:39:24,480
Speaker 1: lost to have more wins combined than the seven teams

842
00:39:24,600 --> 00:39:27,759
Speaker 1: they've beat. And that does not include yes, I get

843
00:39:27,800 --> 00:39:29,640
Speaker 1: they played the Dolphins twice. I did not include their

844
00:39:29,680 --> 00:39:32,920
Speaker 1: record twice the teams they've lost they've beaten or nineteen

845
00:39:32,960 --> 00:39:35,279
Speaker 1: and fifty eight. I get they can only play the

846
00:39:35,320 --> 00:39:37,399
Speaker 1: teams that are put in front of them. Maybe maybe

847
00:39:37,440 --> 00:39:39,160
Speaker 1: they beat them up so much they don't have anything

848
00:39:39,280 --> 00:39:44,480
Speaker 1: left after days. Maybe maybe maybe it's the cumulative effect

849
00:39:44,520 --> 00:39:48,200
Speaker 1: of dealing with the tough part art. I hate that narrative,

850
00:39:48,360 --> 00:39:50,879
Speaker 1: but I feel I feel like it's been like overused

851
00:39:51,080 --> 00:39:52,759
Speaker 1: so much this year. It's like the story of the

852
00:39:52,840 --> 00:39:54,560
Speaker 1: league this season. If you're a good team, you haven't

853
00:39:54,560 --> 00:39:57,880
Speaker 1: beaten anybody yet. Um. But I just I think that

854
00:39:57,960 --> 00:39:59,960
Speaker 1: the numbers kind of bear that out. It's it's an interest.

855
00:40:00,160 --> 00:40:01,839
Speaker 1: One in Cleveland is one of the teams that they've

856
00:40:01,960 --> 00:40:06,680
Speaker 1: lost too. Yeah, but and Browns is surging. It's right,

857
00:40:06,719 --> 00:40:10,279
Speaker 1: I forgot yeah, Okay, all right. That's where I stand

858
00:40:10,280 --> 00:40:13,160
Speaker 1: on the bills. Is that it now that Rhet's just

859
00:40:13,239 --> 00:40:17,200
Speaker 1: taking a taking a dump on all the teams. Not

860
00:40:17,280 --> 00:40:20,640
Speaker 1: a lot of positivity to the holiday, you know, thanksgivings

861
